I'd say it's summies but I'm more convinced it's just an annoying bitter revenge thing going on to try to bait mods into shutting down GE&T or banning them, for what purpose I don't know, but it's even more braindead than simply flaming/flambaiting for the sake of a reaction.

Well that's an interesting theory.

If it helps, actually be assured that there are still a lot of good GE&T storefronts out there, and I don't really think the whole place will be shut down just because of that. Maybe a selective ban on slavery threads (yay).

Of course, I'm not a mod, so I'm not making these calls. But it's something that is not likely.

I'm well aware, but it still seems like a piss poor attempt to rile up the moderation team and player base given most people who aren't buying or reacting to the threads clearly don't care.

Made even more pathetic because all you just need to do is to just commit political nicknaming, e.g., call Xi Jinping, well what people usually compare him to, or Kim Jon Un what Trump called him, or what one person did: call Putin an a-hole

NOTE THAT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE AND I'M NOT INTENTIONALLY LOOKING FOR TROUBLE

I don't think it's an attempt to rile anyone up. I think it's just teenage edgelords gonna edgelord. And a certain user is going to make a million puppets that are more or less the same.

Most of the slaver nations have default flags, so I think that they're only troll accounts.

No, I just lost the logo I used to use on this account.

Its a very niche thing but is a terrible cliche that pisses me off because certain symbols and sigils are like invitations to certain entities. I know it has to be a loose group of occultists and satanists doing it. Theyre always trying to psych ppl out. They tend to say things or roleplay as edgelordy as possible. Ugh.

No no bro you don’t get it there’s a cabal of occultists on the funny nation designer website and they’re making slightly over designed flags to summon actual demons in the real world and no wait where are you going

going to summon demons of course

That was genuinely one of the most unhinged things I've ever read in all my years of using this site.

Like there's extremist or radical political views and then there's 'occultists and satanists are trying to summon demons on the nation roleplay site'.

I remember when the Give AN a Culture Shock thread (the original one) that one of these satanist nations were like

"We are demons, we are atheists, WE ARE DEMON ATHEISTS"

and I'm just like, NOPE, and /still me'd them cause I thought they were a tryhard edgelord

I think that was fired at Ferry, who usually gets them like that one friend with mozzies during summer

A more vintage cliché is people putting 'Mods Only' in their thread titles in Moderation to let other people know you don't want them to chime in with their opinion when you report a post for possible rulebreaking.

Honestly considering that people still do that, maybe we should start doing it again.

Is the OP themselves a mod? like Reploid or someone else?

Is doing a retcon on one of your existing characters to essentially make them new rather than just completely making a new character a cliche?

Oh, I'm not hating on edginess, even to seem cool. I'm just remarking that it's a common fixture in many types of writing, one that serves a variety of purposes - from making your military spaceships look heckin' cool to making a bad boy romantic interest who doesn't play by the rules.

Even RMB RP said no to edgy RP posts, I myself likes to avoid edginess.

by **Gandoor** » Sat Apr 23, 2022 9:15 pm

To me edginess conveys being tryhard and catering to the 13 year old demographic.

by **Karazicu** » Sat Apr 23, 2022 9:29 pm

I can bring up an example of a complete edgefest like this old pile of rubbish I dug up rummaging in the refuse bin of rather old II threads. Just look at this shit and how well it worked out for these mates trying to look cool and edgy lol.
